  1. Summary

    Edwin Jenner is a broken man, the world saw to that with the death of his daughter. With the end of the world and the death of his wife, he has nothing but a promise he made to a dead woman to keep him dragging his feet one step in front of the other.

    Enter an orphaned girl, suffering selective mutism from the trauma of watching her mother die. Edwin doesn't want to be alive, and he can't see why she would either, but the bond of grief brings them together, and gives them something to hold onto. One way or another, he'll give his all to give her a life worth living.

    Summary

    Severus Snape is born a woman. Only the why’s of things change, not the what.

    ————

     

    Dismay washes over Dumbledore’s wizened features. “You told him about the prophecy.”

    “Oh, I did more than that.” In lieu of laughing at the irony and despair of it all, she takes another drag of nicotine. “I convinced him to let Lily live. That way if she didn’t manage it at first, I could help her finish the job.”

    Summary

    “This is the way the world ends / Not with a bang but a whimper." - T.S. Eliot

    The world ended. They lived.

    In the uneasy safety of the quarry, survival is a constant negotiation. It’s a choice of who to trust, a question of who to become, and what leadership costs in a world stripped bare.

    Shane Walsh held the group together. Rick’s return doesn’t feel like salvation; it feels like a reckoning. His presence cracks the fragile balance Shane built—and Scout Dixon, a Marine bearing her own scars, sees the fractures with unsettling clarity.

    Scout didn’t arrive by chance. She came overland, convoy in tow, with siblings and survivors who’d already faced the worst. A burned combat veteran with an intel background, she reads people like terrain—and in Shane, she sees the dangerous slope between protection and control. She’s not here to take over. She’s here because someone has to remember how to hold a line.

    As others—Lori, Daryl, Carol, Merle—grapple with shifting identities, the camp teeters. Not just between life and death, but between who they were and who they must become to survive. Hope is a distant shore. For now, survival has to be enough.
